💭 Tips For Great Instant Pot Recipes To Make In The Fall
An Instant Pot or pressure cook is an incredibly versatile kitchen tool that can make tons of recipes in a snap! Here are some extra tips!
- Seasonal Ingredients. Look for recipes that incorporate fall ingredients. Use things like pumpkins, squashes, apples, pears, sweet potatoes, and root vegetables.
- Soups and Stews. The Instant Pot can easily break down meats in a fraction of the time it would take on the stove.
- One-Pot Meals. Seek out recipes that allow you to cook everything in one pot for convenience.
- Adapt Favorites. You don't have to stick to Instant Pot-specific recipes. If you have a beloved fall recipe, see if you can adapt it for your pressure cooker.
- Sides. Don’t forget about the accompaniments! Your pressure cooker can make creamy mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
- Slow-Cooked Dishes. Consider recipes that typically require long, slow cooking. Your pressure cooker can considerably shorten the cooking time for dishes like pot roast or pulled pork, while still delivering that slow-cooked taste and tenderness.
- Familiarize Yourself with Your Instant Pot. Each model may vary slightly. Make sure you read the instructions for your specific model.

📖 Recipe Card
Instant Pot Fall Recipes: Instant Pot Pot Roast (+More Delicious Dishes!)
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon beef tallow (or extra virgin olive oil, or coconut oil)
- 2.5-3 lb chuck roast (or bottom round roast, brisket, top round, or cross rib roast)
- 2 tablespoon pot roast seasoning
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon beef bouillon (optional)
- 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
- 1 cup yellow onion (chopped)
- 2 medium carrots (chopped)
- 3 ribs celery (chopped)
- 2 medium russet potatoes (cubed)
(Note: 2x or 3x only changes the ingredient list)
Instructions
- Set your Instant Pot to saute and add 1 tablespoon beef tallow (or EVOO or coconut oil).
- As your Instant Pot is heating, use paper towels to pat your 2.5-3 lb chuck roast dry. Then, season it generously all over with 2 tablespoon pot roast seasoning.
- Once the Instant Pot is hot, place the roast inside. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side (the end pieces too), using tongs to carefully turn the roast.
- After you have seared the roast on all sides, carefully remove it and place the trivet into your Instant Pot. Set the roast on top of the trivet and pour in 2 cups beef broth and the optional 1 tablespoon beef bouillon if using.
- Select the option to pressure cook on high for 80 minutes with a natural pressure release (NPR) of 15 minutes. Seal the lid and the steam vent and let cook.
- After the NPR is finished, you can carefully open up your Instant Pot and remove the roast to a plate or cutting board. Loosely tent a piece of foil over the top and let it rest for at least 5 minutes.
- As the roast rests, add 1 tablespoon garlic, 1 cup yellow onion, 2 medium carrots, 3 ribs celery, and 2 medium russet potatoes to your Instant Pot. Cook on high for 3-4 minutes or until tender.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked veggies from your Instant Pot and serve with the pot roast.
Notes
- Whether or not you peel the potatoes is a personal preference. I leave the peels on my potatoes (and I leave the skin on my carrots), but you can certainly peel either or both of them if you'd like to.
- If you plan to slice your pot roast, it should be juicy and easy to cut after 80 minutes in the pressure cooker. If you prefer to shred your roast, I recommend adding 10 minutes to the cooking time for a total of 90 minutes.
- This pot roast is delicious with gravy! Reserve the juices to make my quick and easy pot roast gravy recipe!
- To store: Once your pot roast has cooled to room temperature, place it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- To freeze: Cooled pot roast can be frozen in a plastic freezer storage bag for up to 4 months. Be sure to squeeze out as much excess air as possible. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
- To reheat: You can reheat your pot roast in your Instant Pot for 5 minutes on high pressure, or you can reheat it in the oven. Place the roast and veggies into a baking dish with a splash of broth to keep it moist and cover with foil. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 15 minutes or until warmed.
